Hello! I'm China Barbie! Let me tell you a little about myself, and this blog!
Hi! My name is Jessica LaPinta, aka China Barbie.
I am in my twentys, I currently live in Atlanta, Georgia, and I am married to the love of my life, a local tattoo artist, Nick LaPinta. I am a peace lovin' flower child who loves to craft, read, sing, travel, soak in hot tubs, and help people!
I am obsessed with China. I lived there from ages 20-22, and I love everything about it! The culture, the people, the language, the food. Ohhh the food <3
I think that looking good is very important, so I love all things hair, makeup, and clothes! But if you've followed this blog for long enough, you know that I make my own fashion statements, not follow others'!
Ok enough about me! Here's how this blog came about;

Me on the Great Wall
Between the ages of 18 and 25, I had had 20 different jobs. After 20 failed attempts at finding something I loved doing, I came to the conclusion that I am just not made to have a normal, 9-5 job, and live my life like every other “normal” person in America. That realization stirred up two emotions in me: 1. Excitement! I no longer had to dread every day of my life because I was doing something I hated, and only have the weekends to look forward to! I want to look forward to every day, and love every day of my life! And the thought of loving every day of my life makes me sooo excited! and 2. Fear! On March 30th 2012, when I quit my Health Insurance Sales Job, I was scared! I was giving up making a steady weekly income! I didn’t know how much money I was going to be able to make doing things I love, but, life is short, and I don’t want to spend it being sad and bored; I want to live an amazing life full of adventure and happiness! So after I quit, I got a part-time bartending job, and used my new found free-time to make crafts, and start this blog!

Blog Join me weekly on my blog, to share in my journey of discovering a new passion for life! I write about traveling, diy-ing, fashion, health, and developing and discovering a passion for life! Right now I am working a couple part-time jobs to pay the bills, but I would love to be able to quit one day, so I can further my life of passion, excitement, and changing the world! And share it all with you of course! |

Crafts I also make and sell crafts! Everything I make is completely unique, affordable, adorable, and helps change the world! I upcycle my products, and that means less waste being put into landfills. Also, 10% of everything I make goes to helping those less fortunate than us, through the organizations Compassion International, and Eden Ministries. I specialize in T-shirt Pillows, Tie Dye Clothing, Headbands, Hair Bows, Upcycled Clothing, and Record Bowls and Coasters. You can find all my crafts on my Etsy Page, or my Shop Page. Thanks for the support! |
